Bishop Charles Agyinasare remembers the year 1983. He was in a region where hunger for food was the same as his own hunger for God - the North.

His geographical location matched his spiritual state - dry and thirsty for the power of God. A boyish-looking 'broomstick' after a routine fasting and prayers.

This was where he began his church. The Brother Charles ministry. It began under the inadequate protection of a tree but under the protection of God.

It was God who told him, 'My boy Charles, I send you as I sent Moses' to work miracles and bring the message of salvation and freedom to all people including the sick, deaf and dumb.

Time has proved this private commissioning true. And for 35 years Bishop Charles Agyinasare's crusades have been under the cruise control of the Holy Spirit.

He has witnessed God's healing power working in 87 countries he has visited, some of them, very unfancied territories for Christian evangelism - Ukraine, Bahrain.

And so seated in a nice room with journalists with jotters and cameras, the Presiding Bishop of the Perez Chapel threw an invitation to the sick, deaf and dumb to come to the Independence Square.

On January 30 to February 2, 2018, there will be a festival of miracles. Not one day, not two - but four days.

He launched the Festival of Miracles as calmly as a man who knows God has got his back.

There was no fiery predictions and emotionally charged declarations to convince his audience that he is up for the challenge.

In the sphere of the miraculous, the Bishop was very comfortable in a very uncomfortable territory for many.

Rev Tackie Yarboi talked to us about his relationship with Charles Agyinasare. They go way back. He has been with him on several crusades and he picked out three incidents - in Koforidua, Sierra Leone and another country.

A lifeless body of a woman who had fallen from a building was tossed up through the crowd and unto the platform where the pastor was ministering.

Tackie Yarboi said Charles prayed for the woman, held her hand and said in the name of Jesus get up. The woman breathed deeply and sat up.

The rest is history. The crusade ground burst into an uproar.

In Freetown, Sierra Leone, at a huge stadium bursting its seams, Bishop Charles Agyinasare told the crowd, there was a woman with skin like snake scales.

When it was time for prayer, this woman showed up comprehensively covered to hide her reptile-like flesh.

Rev. Tackie Yarboi revealed his own fears of embarrassment if the expectation of healing was unfulfilled.

Steven Mensah testified the blessedness of Bishop Charles Agyinasare ministry after he spent five days with his church, CEM.

There was an overflow of miracles, healings and deliverance, he said and out of great love for the Bishop, the church gave him an impressive offering.

Charles Agyinasare in his younger years was given the money in his hotel room and Rev. Steve Mensah remembered that he took the money and started sharing it to his team to design posters, hire chairs, build a platform for a crusade in some forgotten part of the country.

Rev. Steven Mensah remembered he was pretty upset at how money meant to make the pastor a little comfortable was immediately being re-invested into an energy-sapping venture of a crusade.

We laughed.

This was years ago. Bishop Charles Agyinasare has not lost his zeal for crusades just as he has not lost his extremely boyish look.

He wore a white polished cotton with an embroidery of gold designs that split through the middle from chest to knee.

His physique and face look like a preserved teenager in a body of a 55-year old.
